(1A) A Mysterious Visitor

A. In October 2017, astronomers in Hawaii saw something surprising. A strange object was moving through the solar system. They had seen many asteroids before, but this was something different. It was long and thin-like a cucumber. The object's speed and direction also showed something surprising. This was an interstellar object—the first ever seen.

B. The object was named 'Oumuamua—Hawaiian for "visitor from afar." Nobody is sure exactly what it is. The simplest idea is that 'Oumuamua is a strangely shaped piece of rock. Perhaps it was knocked out of a far-off star system. However, astronomers saw that its speed increased after passing the sun. Some scientists therefore suggest a different theory.

C. "'Oumuamua could be a piece of alien technology," says Professor Abraham Loeb from Harvard University. Loeb believes this could explain the object's long, thin shape, and also its change in speed. Maybe 'Oumuamua was a spaceship that came to explore our solar system. "All possibilities should be considered," says Loeb. Professor Abraham Loeb suggested that 'Oumuamua could be an alien spaceship.

D. 'Oumuamua can no longer be seen from Earth. But astronomers continue to study the information they got from it. It is still not clear if the object was a large rock, or something else altogether. 'Oumuamua will likely be a mystery for many years to come.

If an object is described as interstellar, it has traveled between different stars.
Please note that this arrangement retains the original information while providing a slight alteration in the order of presentation. The core story remains the same: the discovery of 'Oumuamua, its unique features, the theories around its origin, and its current status as an unsolved mystery.
